Scars On Broadway - Insane (Song)
Insane is a track by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record which came out a few years ago. Unlike the previous two tracks, Exploding/Reloading and Stoner-Hate, Insane is much more similar to Funny because it’s very moderately paced and it features Malakian singing in a …
The Velvet Underground - That’s The Story Of My Life (Song)
That’s The Story Of My Life is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their third and self-titled record. The song starts out in a very lighthearted mood and it has almost a childish tone to it in my opinion due to the very light guitar riff …

The Hollow - A Perfect Circle
It is no secret that I like melody in music, and even more so with guitars specifically. There is something about a melodious guitar line that really pulls me in, and keeps me listening. Unfortunately, it seems like melody itself is a notion that does not have a prominent …
Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …

OK Go on Treadmills
So we’ve all seen plenty of music videos that switch between shots of the band rocking in the background and a dramatic scene played by a couple of actors. But never before have I seen something so entirely original that I just sit back and think, “What a great …
Dear Mr. President by Pink

Regrets by Jay Z, song
Regrets by Jay-Z is the last song off of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” released June 25, 1996. I personally find it to be a perfect song to conclude the album. The song Regrets samples “It’s So Easy Loving You” by Earl Klugh and Hubert Laws. This makes the …
Remember December Music Video by Demi Lovato

Slayer - The Final Command (Song)
The Final Command is a song by Slayer which appears on their debut record, Show No Mercy. The song opens up with a very quick guitar riff which isn’t exactly heavy, but it’s quite fast. To be fair, on Slayer’s debut record they were more of just a fast …
Just Like Heaven by The Cure

Over You by Daughtry
I’ve never heard of Chris Daughtry nor his band Daughtry. But when I heard the song ‘Home’, I came to appreciate his music.
Then, there was a radio station which played ‘Over You’. Upon hearing that music, I admired Chris Daughtry’s music all the more.
The way Chris Daughtry interprets the …

The Chainsmokers ft. Daya - Don’t Let Me Down (2016 Song)

Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure

“Break” by Three Days Grace Music Video

Metallica - Through The Never (Song)
Through The Never, another one of the more aggressive songs on The Black Album, isn’t obviously as good as songs from the first four records, but nevertheless another pretty solid track, similar to Holier Than Thou in that respect. Although the vocal melody is pretty catchy on this track …

The Suburbs is Arcade Fire’s third studio album, released in 2010, and probably my favourite out of all three of their albums. It’s been three years since their last release, and this album has been highly anticipated by all of Arcade Fire’s fans. The wait, in my opinion, is …
